Key Measures of Quality

Quality care means providing the best possible outcomes and partnering with you and your family to make your hospital experience exceptional. That's the big picture, and we always keep it in mind.

When it comes to specific conditions and treatments, quality and safety can be defined in many different ways. In this section, we go into greater detail about the data we collect in several important areas, such as asthma and diabetes care. Although these measures represent just a small cross-section of our quality and safety efforts, they provide a look at how we use data to assess and improve the care we provide.

Boston Children's Hospital has been named the #1 children's hospital in the nation by U.S. News and World Report for the fifth year in a row! It's an honor that we could not have achieved without you. On behalf of every member of our Boston Children's team, thank you for inspiring us to be bolder, dream bigger, and make the impossible possible for our patients and families.
